Childcare voucher scheme

Is the childcare voucher scheme carrying on in 2012-13. And any idea if the £243 per month amount is increasing ?

Thanks

Yes and no, in that order - unless the Chancellor announces anything in the Budget, that is.

The same applies to childcare paid directly by the employer to the childcare provider.

The £243

is reduced to £121 for higher rate taxpayers (broadly) and £95 for additional rate taxpayers (broadly) who join a relevant scheme after 5 April 2011.

Where I say broadly, it is up to the employer to estimate whether the employee will pay at those rates by reference to the pay and benefits from the employment.

Child tax credits

Thanks very much.

Whilst we are at it, something else I am struggling to find, is what is the new upper limit in 2012-13 for receiving any child/working tax credits (say for a couple working 35 hours pw) ?
